Friendship

Getting to Know Who?
Rob Angeli, it could be a pen name, it could be my real name, it could combine elements of a real name and a pseudonym (which in Ancient Greek would mean a kind-of-name). In any case, we are not defined by our names, real or not.

The Other Sides of Me
I feel that in part, those that read my writing (the poems especially) know the most secretive parts of me. The dark and sad and vulnerable parts. The history of my childhood that stains almost everything I touch. It's always joked amongst my friends that my writing is not what you would assume I would write, if you spent any length of time with me. I'm quite the sunshine person and usually laughing or humming to myself. You know a small glimpse into the frail parts of my heart, but not the whole of who I am. So, when I saw this challenge, I delighted in the idea of partaking as well as getting to read others. It can be quite shocking to match an author with facts about them and is a good reminder that we are more than the words we leave here.

THE UNFORGETTABLE BOND OF CHILDHOOD FRIENDSHIP
Once upon a time, in a quiet town nestled between rolling hills and a serene river, lived a boy named James. From the moment he first laid eyes on her, he fell deeply in love with a girl named Emily. They were neighbors, and their houses were separated only by a white picket fence, a metaphorical divide as insurmountable as it was physical.

i'm a bad friend (but you're a bad friend too)
So don't ask me where I've beenBeen avoiding everything'Cause I'm a bad, I'm a bad, I'm a bad friend I've always had difficulty when it came to making friends. Being shy and quiet while also suffering from social anxiety made it hard to make connections. I learned that being alone was easier, but loneliness itself ate at my bones. There were numerous nights in my bedroom during high school where I found myself on my knees at the side of my bed, hands together in prayer as I prayed to God to send me a friend.

I am not your punching bag
I often tell people I don’t judge them, and I can ignore bad behavior. Typically I will ignore someone until they have come to their senses and when they decide to stop being a complete horse’s ass.

Who is Paul Stewart?
Hey. So, this is my entry for Kayleigh Fraser's unofficial Get To Know Me Challenge for September. I feel like during my time publishing on Vocal I have given of myself quite a lot. Whether I am writing fiction, non-fiction, poetry, satire, horror or in the comments, there is always quite a lot of Paul Stewart in there. So people know about my accidental poet status, my love of music and film maybe, my family, my animals, my depression and anxiety and trying not to shy away from the fact that I am an incredibly flawed individual.

My “Get to Know Me” Challenge
This might be a little short because I honestly can’t think of much to say here (woof), but I’ll do my best! 1. I think I’m pretty funny sometimes. I used to want to be a writer for SNL. Now that I know that schedule’s way too crazy, I’m not sure how it will work itself into my life, but I hope to share more of my true voice and humor with people one way or another.
